Eva on ‘The View': Skin-tight dress; kissing Andy Garcia

Garbed in a white dress so tight that she needed “tape” underneath, Eva Longoria chatted on “The View” today about the joy of kissing actor Andy Garcia and the satisfying finale of “Desperate Housewives.”

First that dress: When she entered, Longoria had trouble sitting down, that’s how curve-hugging – and low-cut – her frock was. Bob Saget, sitting next to her as a kind of guest-host to Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd and the rest of the “View” ladies, seemed to have a hard time keeping his eyes on Eva’s face.

“It’s taped on!” Eva said of how she keeps everything underneath from jiggling or spilling out.

On Sunday’s two-hour “Housewives” ending: “It’s such a good pay-off.” Fans will be pleased, she added.

On her first post-“Desperate” movie, “For Greater Glory,” in which she co-stars with Andy Garcia, Peter O’Toole and S.A. native Bruce McGill: Billed as the most expensive Mexican movie ever made, it debuts on June 1. Longoria said it was based on real events that happened in Mexico in the late ’20s. “The government tried to outlaw religion. Priests were hung.” Garcia plays an atheist who, nevertheless, leads a war for religious freedom.

Why did she decide to do the film? “Because I wanted to kiss Andy Garcia. It was very important. . .on my bucket list!”
